7th standard,
At school,
First day,
First class, 9:20 in the morning after the bell. Ding! Tring!
Teacher entered the class room.
Tik! tik! tik! (Scale on the table)

Common announcement, "Silence Please!"
General introduction. Name? What you want to become? What is your 6th standard's percentage? (I hate this question) and Who is your influencing person?
Row wise, I could see many scientists, doctors and engineers aswell. Also many of my friends named few legends which are repeating row wise again.
It's my turn now. I said first three in just one go, but I got stuck at influencing person. Twisted thoughts round my head.

My question, "who is an influencing person?" asked my teacher. Friends laughed. Even I, at them. My teacher gave an expression as if I'm the only person left over in the World War II and she's ready with her weapons to attack on me. With a real slow motion I tried to put my head down just 90 degrees to my feet. At 70-80 degrees travel, heard a voice from my teacher, she actually knows exactly what I was asking her. Suddenly gave a gentle smile and said, "Beta, influencing person is the one who Influence you, I mean inspire you". Great! (But I know that! Agrrrr) With the same gentle smile, I said, "Okay, Ma'am". She asked me, "Now tell me, who is your influencing personality? (With dominating voice)". The only people who came in my mind were my father and my mother. At that age, when anyone named "person", I used to think that it absolutely a masculine. So I named my father as he'll be with me everyday and teach me something new and better. (Thank god, as I didn't repeat the names the other people said. (Which I like)).
Ages passed, same question again, bit matured this time. At my engineering, usually these questions are being asked religiously by English lecturers as subject people don't...alright!
This time, my lecturer didn't ask about the percentage of previous standards(Sir, You're awesome!), he just asked about our names, inspiring person and hobbies. A perfect general introduction, though.
But I still see people naming, rockstars, legends again and few named their parents. This is what I call, "evolution of mind".
Inspiring is a word which gives a piece of encouragement at odd times. My question is, if that is giving you a move to go on, a strength to build on and a courage to live in, why it is just limited to the famous personalities? Why it is limited only to the positive occasions of these famous personalities? Why can't be it to the situations that we face everyday?

Suppose, an accident happens, people will gather at a very next moment. Everyone carries mobile(s) these days. Most will have them handy. But, where the problem comes? Selfies, idiotic selfies at bad situations. 1 in hundred will call to the ambulance in concern and try to help them(I can proudly say that I'm one of them). But the rest will be with an intention to post them into social media to share the information with their folks with pics.
Even media in the news don't come forward to help a girl who is running nude for the help when a gang keeps her beating in public. They take a video in HD cameras to show them in channels. WTF the cameraman think about himself? Is that a ramp walk? (Sorry, I've stopped using emoticons in my articles with my nearest friend's advice) Better be conscious while doing something being a human. Aren't we? (Question yourself).
When a talk comes, people raise their voice to negate what others do/did. But basically they do the same at their backend. I pity. (Agree, if it is correct).
When we know what is wrong and what is right, get inspired from what is wrong and go implement what is right. There's no boundary for it and no one questions you.
When a rider drives rash on the roads, get inspired by his stupendous driving, but make sure that you'll never do it.
When a husband comes home every night, having drunk and hits her wife a real bad, get inspired by his discipline, but make sure that you'll never do it.
When student stands first always in the class, active in every event, shines everytime, get inspired by his zeal but make sure you try reaching it.
Getting inspired will not only be with a personalities and mind sets, but also with the situations happening live around us.
It can be either good or bad, can get influenced either way. If you're influenced in a bad direction, nothing wrong in that, but know why you are doing it. Have a clear view. Same thing applies to good as well.
Question! "Am I doing the wrong for the right cause?" Or "Am I doing the right for wrong cause?"
Answer? You know it better.
Key? Analyse, think and decide, but be mentally alive.
If someone asks me "who is influencing or inspiring you?"
I say, "my self and the situations around".
What If I ask the same? Hope I get to hear the same answer from now. Because, level of thinking capacity can be increased by human. Only human. By self.
